As far as I know, there is no cell phone with a built in taperecorder.

Now I wonder if a tape-recorder is difficult to build into a cellphone because of the magnetic tape? I am guessing the hard-drive isitself iron magnetic tape. Now I suppose a tape recorder based onlight as a CD could be an alternative.

But anyway, it seems as though the technology of the tape recorder hasbeen left behind or stagnant in the past 2 decades compared to thecamera, computer and telephone.

Any reason for this stagnation and why no cellphone as a built in taperecorder.
